Generators: A Hummer in the Stable?
summary
Explains ES2015 generators and iterators: what iterators and generators are, how for/of works, and the hidden classes the standard requires. Shows advanced uses — extending iterator behavior for higher-order programming, using generators as coroutines to manage stateful problems — and covers async iteration in ES2018 (async generators and for/await/of) plus the relationships among async functions, generators, and async generators.
